The Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference is held in Lansing during the third week of May every year, and sets up how much of our money the Legislature and Governor have to spend on the state budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
Sources tell West Michigan Politics that not a single elected Democrat in the Legislature---in either the State House or State Senate---bothered showing up to this year's meeting to find out just how much money the state has to spend.
The Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference confirmed that growth is at 4.3%, down slightly from the January estimate, but overall Michigan's economy is still growing.
The Democrats are falsely suggesting the small change in revenue estimates shows the economy is struggling---blaming President Trump’s policies---all in a half ass attempt to cover-up the fact that they produced an unconstitutional budget.
Perhaps showing up at the meeting and knowing what the numbers actually are would have prevented them from proposing an illegal budget that puts Michigan in a billion dollar deficit?

It’s about time THE CORRUPTION OF THE LEFT IS CALLED TO THE MATT!
ReplyDeleteMichigan was left on the brink of Bankruptcy by Granholm and sounds like Whitmers on her coat tails at the very least! Her greatest accomplishment was TRYING FEROCIOUSLY to bring the CCP to Michigan- for which there SHOULD BE CHARGES OF TREASON!
Agreed!
